Cheers for the valuation. It's an 05 plate. I'd say it's not clean enough for the £3k valuation but £2k is definitely realistic. Not bad for a car I paid £600 for needing a box haha

Just curious as to the value of my new purchase. FF 182 in black gold. Body work I'd call average (couple of scrapes etc) 103k. Belts and dephaser done June 2016 - 4k ago. New clutch and replacement gearbox Eibach pro line springs Whiteline arb Standard wheels Scorpion exhaust and decat...

Replaced the circlip and welded it in place. This lasted a week so the car is now back in having a 182 diff fitted. If anyone is interested its going to be up for sale once I have it back. Decided using a track car as a daily wasn't a great idea so I'm putting it back to standardish and am...

As suspected, circlip has gone, that and my 5th gear issue should be sorted soon. Looking forward to getting it back, can't stand not having a car haha.

Wouldn't surprise me haha. I live on Audley road so go through Bignall End on the way to work etc. You've probably heard my RC6s Yeah it's at Curborough haha. Think potentially just going to weld it for now. Planning on getting a gripper eventually.

Bit of an update. Gone to have the box looked at sooner than I planned. Popped the diff circlip yesterday at a track day so got it recovered back to four ashes. If the box has to come out I'll get my 182 manifold fitted.

Cheers mate, really really good imo. Floyd who deals with the RS side of things worked at KTEC in the past and really knows his stuff. Did a load of work on my mates LY 182. I'd definitely recommend them. Cheers haha. Going to get them redone soon hopefully so that they actually finish haha.

It is indeed.

Cheers guys, yeah I've had some bad luck with it but it's so much better than my old one haha. Yeah it's a massive learning curve, but saved so much money doing things myself. Bought some crappy headlights from ebay and gutted them.

Probably the last post for a short while. This pretty much brings us to where the car is currently. So as mentioned in the last post, with my MOT being due at the end of February I decided I should probably get round to fitting the EPAS to the car. Thankfully Clios are easy to pull apart so the...

Ok so carrying on. First of all I decided to fit some 10mm stub axle spacers to the car as the rear tyres had been rubbing on both the arch liner and the strut itself. Horrible horrible job. Whoever decided to use Torx Bolts on something that is exposed to the elements needs to be shot. Ended up...

Righto I shall continue. I forgot to mention in the previous post that I had fitted some Camber bolts and a set of CL RC6 pads. The increased camber meant a massively improved turn in and the RC6s meant that the car had stopping power it had been lacking for a long time previously. The brakes...

Nah writing it as I go. Having fun trying to remember what order I did stuff in haha. Think I'll probably carry on tomorrow. Time for bed now haha. I've still got a way to go with the car but she's getting there slowly. By the time I'm done should be a bit of an animal.

The Saga continues. I forgot to mention in the last post. I got stripes fitted to make it faster. No idea why they weren't done all the way to the end of the bonnet and I need to get this sorted at some point. (That was in Brighton) One thing I did having seen an immaculate Racing Blue 182...

Righto lets continue the tale of my Cup. I also got a MAD tow hook for it which still lives on the car now. It sat lovely and the 595 RSRs that I bought made it look and handle well. I fitted my sabelt when that turned up. Wish it still looked that blue haha, recently discovered the date stamp...
